Article Abstract
Introduction: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy is a rare manifestation in itself. Although many immunosuppressive states are associated with the disease, its occurrence in the setting of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia treated with chemotherapy is seldom reported to date.
Case Presentation: A 67-year-old woman with known chronic lymphocytic leukaemia who was previously receiving chlorambucil treatment was identified as having progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy; her prognosis is currently good.
Clinical Discussion: Although a rare disease in an immunocompromised setting, progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy often leads to a grave outcome. However, the authors describe a case with a good prognosis to date.
Conclusion: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy should be in differentials in immunocompromised patients with dementia. Given that the later prognosis of the disease is unpredictable, an earlier diagnosis would be better for immunological reconstitution.

Introduction: Multifocal subsolid nodules (SSNs) are increasingly detected with widespread lung cancer screening and advanced thoracic imaging, representing a spectrum of multifocal lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs). When synchronous SSNs coexist with a surgically confirmed subsolid LUAD, their trajectories remain poorly understood, contributing to uncertainty regarding optimal management strategies. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical course and impact of synchronous SSNs in such patients and to identify features associated with their progression.

Introduction: Primary central nervous system vasculitis (primary CNS vasculitis) is a rare inflammatory disorder that affects small-to-medium-sized cerebral vessels, often leading to recurrent strokes. Diagnosis is vague due to non-specific neurological symptoms. Imaging findings, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis and exclusion of systemic vasculitis are essential for diagnosis.

Background: Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a severe demyelinating disease caused by JC polyomavirus (JCV), affecting immunocompromised individuals. We describe PML demographic, clinical, radiological and laboratory characteristics and survival over time and according to underlying condition in a large retrospective patient cohort.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort including Italian PML patients observed between 1987 and 2024, with known year of diagnosis and underlying disease.

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is characterized by chronic progressive damage to the retinal ganglion cell layer (GCL) and their axons, leading to gradual visual function loss. Currently, the gold standards for structural and functional assessment of the retina in glaucoma are static automated perimetry (SAP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). However, in clinical practice, data from SAP and OCT may be insufficient to reliably determine the stage of glaucomatous optic neuropathy, monitor its progression, or differentiate it from other causes of visual dysfunction.

Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (PDE) is a rare, autosomal recessive neurometabolic disorder characterized by intractable seizures responsive to pyridoxine. We present the case of an 11-day-old female neonate with a history of refractory multifocal seizures beginning on day three of life, accompanied by hepatomegaly, metabolic acidosis, elevated serum ammonia and lactate, and abnormal liver function tests. Despite multiple antiepileptic and metabolic treatments, seizures persisted, and the infant developed progressive metabolic disturbances.
